Objective To evaluate the efficacy of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system(LNGIUS) in the treatment of endometriosis. Methods Fifty-three patients suffering from endometriosis were placed LNG-IUS in uterine cavity after menstruation. The efficacy 3,6,12 months after LNG-IUS placement was observed and compared. Results The scores of dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, menstrual anus pain 3,6,12 months after LNG-IUS placement were lower than those before LNG-IUS placement (P < 0.05 ).CA125 [(21.8±12.5) kU/L]and destradiol [(78.8±45.5)ng/L] 12 months after LNG-IUS placement were improved than those before LNG-IUS placement and 3,6 months after LNG-IUS placement [CA 125:(36.3±17.5), (33.5±15.6), (28.2 ± 11.7) kU/L,destradiol: (40.4 ± 28.6), (42.5 ± 31.5), (56.5 ± 36.2) ng/L](P < 0.05 ). The menstrual blood volume was less 6,12 months after LNG-IUS placement than that before LNG-IUS placement (P<0.05), and the quality of life was improved( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion LNG-IUS can be safe and effective treatment of patients with endometriosis, and less side effects.
2.Research status and recent advances of nanophthalmos
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2020;36(5):400-403
Nanophthalmos is a congenital disorder, which is characterized by small eye without any ocular or systemic malformation. It has autosomal-dominant and recessive forms of inheritance. It manifests as reduced total axial length, high hyperopia and thickened sclera. Nanophthalmos is relatively rare, but at high risk of secondary angle-closure glaucoma, uveal effusion syndrome. It can be spontaneous remission or recurrent, and responses poorly to medication. The effect of systemic glucocorticoid treatment is not ideal. The surgery challenges with very high rate of intra- and post-operative complications such as hemorrhage, choroidal and retinal detachment, malignum glaucoma and uveal effusion, so that the prognosis is poor. It is of great instructive significance to further understand the clinical features, complications and treatment progress and to avoid the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosisi of its complications, and thus choose the right management.

Objective:To comparatively analyze the diagnostic value of patent foramen ovale and the degree of right-to-left shunt among the traditional Valsalva maneuver (VM), the modified Valsalva maneuver (mVM) and the compression of the inferior vena cava combined with modified Valsalva maneuver (CM).Methods:A total of 132 patients with migraine, dizziness, chest pain and other symptoms in Longgang District People′s Hospital of Shenzhen from January 2021 to December 2021 were prospectively enrolled. The detection rate of patent foramen ovale and the degree of right-to-left shunt were assessed among the rest state and after performing the auxiliary maneuvers including VM, mVM and CM respectively.Results:After performing the auxiliary maneuvers, the detection rate of patent foramen ovale was significantly increased (88.6% vs 59.8%) with statistical significance (χ 2=36.026, P<0.001). There was a significant difference in the degree of right-to-left shunt among the three auxiliary maneuvers (χ 2=25.581, P<0.001). CM was the most effective for the detection of the large right-to-left shunt, and the difference was statistically significant compared with VM and mVM ( P<0.001, P=0.002). Conclusions:Auxiliary maneuvers is crucial for the diagnosis of patent foramen ovale. Compared with VM and mVM, performing CM can further improve the detection rate of patent foramen ovale and increase the degree of right-to-left shunt.
